Youth Speak Out -- What is Culture?
Where
I'm From
By: Raymundo
I am from Mexico. It is very hot but at night it gets hella cold.
Everything is cheap and lot of people is poor. Mexico has lots of
girls and they are pretty fine. I have two grandpas and two grandmas
that live there. I used to visit them every year. I can still remember
the house. I also used to ride a horse.
What
I like
By: Luis
Hello my name is Luis. I was born in Michucan, Mexico. I think Halloween
is better in Mexico because you make parties not going door to door
at night. I think that the food is better because thereีs no Burger
King or MacDonald's. There's only Mexican food like enchiladas and
tortas and the chips are popular over there. There are also very
cool arcades that are why I like Mexico
Who
I am

Cambodians are cool. They filmed a movie Tomb Raider there and Angelina
Joile adopted a kid from over there. They eat different types of
foods and sweets which lots of people like. They eat weird things
such as pig stomach. I eat pig stomach with lots of vegs. The thing
I am most proud of is they are different by their language, food,
dress, actions and all kinds of stuff. They pray a lot. My uncle
is a monk. They burned my great granny and sent her too Cambodia.
I cried, I don't know why I cried but I know that she is watching
me. My uncle was wrapped with cloth that was orange during the funeral.
My granny and grandpa died during the
war.
Skull/The
Beginning
By: Fabian Gonzalez
There
was once a boy named Sam Tooch. He was walking through his hood
and he saw three tall kids picking on a little boy. They threw him
in a dumpster.
Sam went to help the little boy in the dumpster because he felt
sorry for the little boy. The three tall kids were actually gangsters.
They saw Sam run to his house so they ran after him to catch him.
When they caught Sam they took him to their hood and they wet Sam
with gasoline. The tallest kid lit a lighter and burned Sam's body.
His soul started glowing and came to the three kids and started
beating the life out of them. Sam's soul looked like a skeleton
with wings and his name is now the Skull and he lives.
The
Skull/The revenge
By: Fabian Gonzalez
Since the creation of The Skull the punks that jumped him were hanging
out. They were getting ready for a dance at their school. The Skull
was always waiting for his revenge and tonight was the night that
he was going to get it. So the punks got in their low rider with
flames. They drove to the dance. The Skull got ready to fly and
follow the danger that was in front of him. When the punks got to
the school there was a party in the back of the hall. They got out
of their car and walked towards the hall. The Skull was still flying
then he landed on the floor and followed them.
The
Skull hid in the shadows. As the punks were walking inside the hall
the last punk got caught by the Skull. The Skull dragged him into
the shadows and the punk was screaming. The Skull was laughing with
a grin. The Skull discovered he could disguise himself like another
person so he disguised himself as a girl to drag them into the dark
to kill them. So he went inside the hall and was looking for the
last two punks. When he found them he dragged the tallest one into
the shadows in a room and sliced him into pieces. The last punk
was in real fear so the Skull picked him up and banged his head
against the wall. The punk landed on his head and cracked his neck
and died. The Skull laughed and flew out of the hall and waited
on the roof to leave from the sunset.

El
Caminito
By Adilene Villalobos
Art By Tomas Batista
This morning I woke up and got ready for school. On my way to
go get the city bus all the time I have to pass through "El
Caminito ." It is a short cut to catch the bus that enters
to the freeway. Well I was walking through there all alone because
my friend was sick today. As I was walking I heard a sound like
someone was there.
Then
I turned around and I saw a dog and someone was with him it was
some women. I think she was homeless because she was under a bush
with a lot of ugly stuff. She said hello and I was going to run
because I got scared but I didn't I just kept walking fast. I
got hella scared and if I see her again I will try and go with
someone through "El Caminito." 
Walking
Home

When
I go walking I see people making up or fighting with each other.
I know that because I see them kissing and then fighting. I see
them standing on the corner. I always see condoms on the floor.
Hero
By: Kamal Nagra
When
I was barely learning how to swim and I got the hang of it all
of the sudden my sister started drowning and I had to save her.
I jumped into the water and pulled her to safety. I was on the
diving board and she slipped in. I had to jump off the diving
board to save her. I was a girl hero to her.
